If Michael Beasley came to the Lakers and made an [expletive] out of himself in a "redeem" year on the vets minimum, then his NBA career is basically over.

The point of this season is one of redemption and to win your spot on that 2014 Lakers team on a bigger contract. You come here to play your heart out for that next opportunity.

If you came here and goofed off and did nothing then you probably aren't getting re-signed and the world is watching you. So obviously coming here means a lot for your career going forward. Especially being in camp with a guy like Kobe.

Like Kobe said "Those that can take it stay here and win rings. Those that can't.. well they aren't here anymore."

If Beasley can 'take it' he'll be a welcome edition. If he can't he'll be gone in a year and in basketball oblivion.

Michael Beasley may now have worn out his third welcome with a team in the NBA. After being drafted by the Miami Heat with the number 2 pick, there was high hopes for Beasley being a force in the NBA. However, the Heat traded Beasley away after a few short years to the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Timberwolves shortly thereafter shipped him off to the Phoenix Suns.

Now, the Phoenix Suns may be waiving Beasley after his arrest for marijuana possession in Scottsdale earlier this week. According to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports, the Phoenix Suns have until August 31st to release Beasley, but it will probably take much less time than that.

Despite hiring a life coach for Beasley this past season, Beasley may now be a lost cause. In all likelihood, the Suns will waive and stretch Beasley, which means he’ll still collect his $9 million over the next 5 years, but he will no longer be a Phoenix Sun. It's hard to say now whether a team will take a gamble with the talented Beasley.

At the vets minimum there is zero risk and nobody can doubt his talent. As a stretch-4 or oversized 3 he's even a good fit in MDAs offense.

All signs mostly say they will yes or have they considered changing their stance?

They are gonna try to waive him and see if this arrest is enough, if it isn't enough, then they'll use the stretch provision.

They are trying all they can to waive him first, but as that doesn't seem to happen they'll have to stretch him. I guess they are gonna try till the final day to drop him without having to pay him, stretch seems their last choice.
